The Klima- und Energie-Modellregion Westliches Mittelgebirge is a collaborative network of six municipalities (Axams, Birgitz, Götzens, Grinzens, Mutters, and Natters) formed in 2021 to advance climate protection and sustainable energy transitions. Founded under Austria's federal Climate and Energy Fund program, the region operates as a model for independence from fossil fuels through increased renewable energy deployment from solar, wind, water, and biogas. The organization implements community projects including e-mobility initiatives, energy efficiency programs, heating system retrofits, and citizen energy cooperatives. Led by a regional manager, it provides consulting, promotes behavioral change, and facilitates access to subsidies and support networks across its member communities in Tyrol.
